Hiring Process

A recruitment and selection process is in place to facilitate fair and consistent hiring practices. Vacancies are posted internally as well as advertised in the external media.

Employment interviews are conducted before making an offer of employment and all candidates participating in an interview will be notified of the results.

Reference checks are conducted to obtain additional or substantiating information and employment tests may be conducted prior to making an offer of employment.

Background checks are a condition of acceptance of employment.

The EDA believes in equal opportunity in employment practices without discrimination on the grounds of race, religious beliefs, colour, gender, sexual orientation, physical disability, mental disability, ancestry, place of origin, age, marital status, and source of income or family status.
